Campaigning 101 - Getting Our Point Across
Friday Sep 02, 2022
Friday Sep 02, 2022
Campaigning is the bread and butter of the Yes Movement. In this episode of our Indy Jigsaw series, we look at different aspects of campaigning including planning, strategy, tactics, grass roots activity, campaign tools and lobbying.
Our guests are former MSP and Scottish Socialist Frances Curran, part time lecturer and lobbyist Grant Thom and Commonweal's Leo Plumb. We even take a peek into the abyss at some of the tactics used by Better Together in 2014.
There is an extended version of our interview with Frances Curran on our Indylive Extra Youtube channel and you can also see the Commonweal Campaign Centre walkthrough there too.

Our Border, Our Opportunity?
Friday Aug 19, 2022
Friday Aug 19, 2022
An independent Scotland in the EU (or EFTA) will require careful management of our borders, particularly the land border with England. In this episode we listen to some of the experts who explain the principles of the common travel area, border management and the difference between a border and customs controls. We also chat to our guest Ruth Ritchie who lives in a border community about the practical day to day reality of life on a border.
In the podcast we refer to a paper co-authored by Prof Katy Hayward and Prof Nicola McEwen called An EU Border across Britain: Scotland's borders after independence. You can find it here https://ukandeu.ac.uk/research-papers/an-eu-border-across-britain-scotlands-borders-after-independence/
